My diet has changed too many times to count. I have cut out dairy, meat, eggs, wheat, and even entire food groups – high fat low carb, low fat high carb, you name it, all in the quest to find the “healthiest” diet.

Smashed avocado on toast is one of my favourite weekend brunch meals. Add a poached egg on top and I’m in heaven. So, as it is asparagus season, why not throw some lightly cooked asparagus on top to make the ultimate Spring breakfast! This recipe is super easy with only a handful of ingredients.
